Thank you for sharing your concerns with us You have a prominent ears due to poorly defined anti helix superiorly and deep conchal bowl. it is straightforward otoplasty to do under local anesthesia. Choose a board certified plastic surgeon and you should be fine. Good luck
The delightful thing about ears is their variety even in the same individual. Before embarking on what's "wrong" with your ear please keep in mind that this is s completely cosmetic operation intended to improve appearance and not function but which is associated with some risks.
